Bailey
Russell is an operative for the Artemis Agency. A privately funded group who
makes sure justice is handed out to those who would slip away and hide to avoid
their punishment. Bailey’s partner was killed right in front of her by an arms
dealer named Amir Fahad then she was sent back with the message: No one touches
Amir Fahad. Unfortunately for Fahad, Bailey isn’t about to let that message
stop her from dispensing retribution. One way or another, only one of them
would be walking away.

Ben
Ambrose is an undercover MI6 agent and has been with Fahad’s organization for
three months. Until the day he blows his cover for Bailey and her team who have
been targeted by Fahad through leaked information from inside the Artemis
Agency. Forced to trust each other they go on the run toward Fahad’s
stronghold. Would either of them survive this totally screwed up mission?

The
plot is fast-paced and the writing is great. The characters are well-developed
and I couldn’t help but cheer them on to victory though at times it didn’t seem
they were ever going to make their target. The relationship that develops
between Bailey and Ben seems a bit forced, but overall it’s a good one. My only
other complaint is that the insider leak was never revealed. Unless I
completely missed it, but I read the ending twice just to see if I had. I have
my suspicions, but if I’m right then I will be completely disappointed in the
dumbassedness of it. So I prefer to sit in ignorance. I like it better that
way.
